The church must be gathered from the masses of the poorest and most oppressed people, for Jesus stands on the side of those who are deprived of their rights, despised, degraded and oppressed. Here the call for gathering will find a response in the greatest number of people, who are really ready to be directed decisively towards the future of the kingdom of God. It is just the poorest and most underprivileged people who will welcome the spontaneity and unconditional character of the miracle of Pentecost with the greatest trust and joy.
